Good news, bad news

First the good - winger Nick Magyar (upper body) practised with the club yesterday and is on track to return.

He still needs to pass his return to play protocal stages but has been progressing nicely and will likely play Friday against Windsor barring any setbacks.

The news isn't so good for Mason Kohn. The sophomore forward, who has already missed time with the flu, is now out indefinitely with a shoulder injury.

Kohn suffered the injury late in Sunday's game against Sudbury and will not play this weekend and will likely be out longer.

Defenceman Max Iafrate is also on the shelf for a few days but it's more of a maintenance issue than serious injury. The veteran has been battling the flu and is one of the minutes leaders on the club so he needs a bit of rest.

So, what does that mean for lines? Well, if Magyar returns he'll likely resume his role on the second line with Gustaf Franzen and Brent Pedersen. I'm guessing rookie Adam Mascherin drops down to the third unit in place of Kohn.
